The Members Formally Commissioned -
Speedy Fall of the Ministry Predicted.
PARIS, May 30-The announcement is made
officially. that President Grevy this afternoon
signed the commissions of the new Ministry,
which is constituted as follows:
NJ. .Rouvier, president of the council, minister
of finance and minister of posts and teegraphy;
NJ. Faileres, minister of the interior: NJ.
Flourens. minister of foreign affairs; NJ Spuiier,
minister of public instruction. fine arts and wor-
ship; NJ Mazeau, minister of lustice zen.
Ferron, minister of war; NJ Barley, minister OF
marine; NJ. D'Autresme. minister of public
works: M. Barbe, minister of agriculture.
The new Cabinet meets with a very sullen
ception at the hands of the Republican press.
President Grevy received large number of
kilograms from London. Berlin, Vienna and other
European capitals, to-day. expressing gratifica-
ton at the exclusion of General Bou-
LANCER from the Ministry These
kilograms are not understood to come
from the gentlemen signing them as
representing their Official opinions, but mere
ly expressing their feelings private individ-
uals Still. much stress is laid upon the high
official standing of their authors by tho partisans
of NJ Grevy as showing how narrowly France
has escaped losing confidence with the powers
by the elimination from the Cabinet
of the man whose ambition would
have led him to involve the country
in unproked war. The self Satisfying view taken
of the situation by the Grevy faction-and it is
merely faction-is not however, shared by
the great majority-the populace-who can be
induced to see things only as they are,
ana public demonstrations plainly and en-
phaticaly expressing their feelings may be
set down to That
the new Cabinet will last fortnight
nobody believes, and many look for it's disinte-
grafton within the present week. The action of
General Saussier, whose presence in the War
Office was relied upon by NJ Rouvier to inspire
foreign confidence in the Ministry, in announcing
to his colleagues his refusal to support apropos
ten to withdraw the military bill introduced by
General Boulanger and his subsequent de-
cision to remain in his old place
military governor of Paris was heavy blow to
the new Premier and the fact that the num-
Der of gentlemen found who were willing to
ter an anti-Boulapger Cabinet was INSULT
cient to fill all the offices. compelling the
Premier to assume three of them himself,
Council and leaving one, the ministry Of COM
merce. yet to be filled, is equally humiliating.
Advantage is taken of those points by the
Clemenceau party to heap rdcule upon the
new government. to predict its immediate down
fall. and to declare that Nj. Cemenceau,
through whose opposition its overthrow will
he brought about. will form the next Cabinet,
with General Boulanger Minister of War.
